1. North East ATV Dragway (NEATVD) reserves the right to change rules and classes at any time for any reason.

The quickest qualifying time will be the Qualifying Time.
If you hit a cone, or crosses over the center, that will be considered a foul.
If you Red Light during Qualifying, it does not effect your time or cause a
foul.
3. Classes will be determined by Qualifying Time.
Outlaw Classes is any quad running faster than 5.000 sec. These
classes will be divided into 3/10 sec. classes.
Outlaw classes have a max break out time of 1/10 sec. faster than
the class title with a max of 3/10sec for the
slowest in the class.
Other Classes will be divided into 1/2 second brackets to a maximum
of 16 contestants.
All other classes have a max break out time of 2/10 sec. faster than
the class title with a max of 5/10sec for the
slowest in the class.

ATV stands for All Terrain Vehicle. Quads, Snowmobiles, dirt bikes, go carts,
etc. Not Trucks.
4. Racing
Racing will be run in double elimination. After the first run, you will return to the staging area and switch lanes. You will make your second run after the rest in the class has made their run. If a tie happens after the second run, you will return to the starting line again and the fastest qualifier will call lane choice on a coin toss. Once established, pairings are not changed unless NEATVD determines there is adequate justification for a change. The break out rule: If you run faster than your break out time you are disqualified from competition. One break out and you are out. If you Red light during eliminations, you lost on that pass. If you cross over the center line during Qualifying or Eliminations, that will be considered a foul also.
There is a 11:00 pm noise ordinance in Duplin County. If time is running short we will be forced to go to single eliminations.
If there are more than 40 entries, each class will run Double Elimination their first round, then we will start round 2 for each class.
If it is 10pm or later, on the starting of any round, we will be forced to go to Single Eliminations.
Run what you brung, wide open! No Sandbagging allowed!!! Please! We are racing for fun, not a living.
5. Racing order
Racing

1vs.9, 2vs.10, 3vs.11, 4vs.12, 5vs.13, 6vs.14, 7vs.15, and 8vs.16.

first bye run and the second bye run goes to the number 2 ATV or the person that
beat him and earned that position on the ladder. If you assigned a bye run, you
must make at least 1 bye run.
